Better Days

Oh my mother told my father
Life is only real when shared
Oh my father told my mother
Life is anything but fair, oh

Oh my mother told my father
We cannot not be together
Oh my father told my mother
Nothing will be here forever

You are the only, you are the only life I know
You are the only, you are the only life I know

We are holding and holding and holding on
We're holding and holding and holding
Then we're hoping and hoping and hoping
For better days to come
Uh

Oh my mother held my brother
What will happen when we part, oh
Oh my brother held my mother
And laid his hand upon her heart, oh

You are the only, you are the only life I know
You are the only, you are the only life I know

We are holding and holding and holding on
We're holding and holding and holding
Then we're hoping and hoping and hoping
For better days to come
We are holding and holding and holding on
We're holding and holding and holding
And we're hoping and hoping and hoping
For better days to come
And they'll come

Oh my mother told my father love is only real when shared
